A Break-Glass Plan for Biological Security: Bibliometric Analysis of Methods for Building Virus-Length Recombinant DNA Constructions Identifies Advanced DNA Polymerases as Key Reagents and Suggests Additional Controls that Might Be Imposed in Response to Triggering Biological Incidents
Today, in 2026, there is concern that existing or improved pandemic pathogens might be made in labs, and that construction of pathogens might be assisted by Artificial Intelligence (AI). In the near future, it seems possible that pathogen construction might be assisted by AI agents acting under human direction or even...
